Random thoughts from a Monday

Driving Stick

I think that at some point, every driver should make an attempt at learning how to operate a vehicle with a manual transmission. 
I mean, come on, you never know when you're going to find yourself in an "Amazing Race" scenario in a foreign country, where the only vehicle at your disposal is a standard. 
At least learn the basics, right? If not, at least make yourself useful and mow some lawns. 
Hey, remember four lokos?


Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

Fresh orange juice is awesome. Not pasteurized not modified, just straight up orange juice. I like my juice all natural, I don't need "no pulp," "extra pulp," or "some pulp." Just give me whatever came out of the orange when you squeezed it. That would be just great, thanks. 

Making Your Money Work for You

Do you have cash money that's just floating around in a dumb checking account? Why?
Fix it. Put it in a high-yield savings account instead. Or a CD. Or 401k. Or Roth IRA. Literally anything that's not a dumb checking account. Do some research. Ask some questions. Make money by doing very little. You like money, right?

Plants

Why don't you have plants in your apartment? They're super cheap, you can buy them at the grocery store, and many are useful too! I recommend basil. You can add it to pretty much any meal, and it counts as one serving of vegetables*!
